W. B. Yeats - Colonel Martin (IV) 汉译

The Colonel knocked on the rich man’s door,

“I am sorry,” said the maid,

“My mistress cannot see these things,

But she is still abed,

And never have I looked upon

Jewelry so grand.”

“Take all to your mistress,”

And he laid them on her hand.

The Colonel went out sailing.

马丁上校（四）

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

上校敲响那阔佬的门，

“很遗憾，”女佣人说，

“我的女主人看不见这些东西，

只因她还在床上卧着，

我从来没有看见过

这么豪华的珠宝首饰。”

“全都拿去给你的女主人，”

他把珠宝放到她手里。

上校外出去航海。
